Eric Faleef Caldwell, 36, was fatally shot on May 23, 2007, on the 300 block of Patterson Street in Chester, Pennsylvania after a dispute with two men outside the Fifth Street Bar. Witnesses reported seeing James Armstrong and Rashad Ishmail chase Caldwell and fire multiple rounds at him; testimony at trial stated Caldwell was shot multiple times from behind and that shell casings matched a weapon found near the scene.

Armstrong, 27, and Ishmail, 31, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and related offenses. Armstrong reportedly confessed to a witness in August 2007. The prosecution faced challenges including witness intimidation and the death of potential witnesses, but the jury convicted Armstrong of first-degree murder; he also received an additional sentence for illegal firearm possession. Ishmail was cleared of first- and third-degree murder charges.

Does anyone have information about Caldwell, the scene on Patterson Street, or witnesses from that night?
